Even though tooth enamel is one of the hardest tissues in our bodies, it can’t repair itself. Over time, it will begin to erode, and no matter how much we try, we can’t stop it, or can we? With a few natural remedies, is it possible to help rebuild tooth enamel?
Black Walnut Extract
Black walnut extract is full of vitamins and minerals, many of which are natural anti-bacterials. Keeping the bacteria out of the mouth and away from teeth and gums will help promote healthy teeth. The extract contains silica which is known for building strong hair, nails, bones, and teeth. It also contains natural fluoride, which is used to rebuild tooth enamel.
Black walnuts contain many vitamins and minerals: Vitamin B15, silica, calcium, protein, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium and manganese.
Other Ways to Protect Tooth Enamel
Not including natural remedies and herbs, there are a few things we can do to help protect our tooth enamel:
use a straw when drinking fluids full of acid avoid biting into acidic foods (use the back teeth when possible and cut up acidic foods into small bite-size pieces) keep mouth moist by sipping water during the day chew sugar free gum between meals
What is the Difference Between Black Walnut Extract and Black Walnut Meats?
Black walnut extract or tincture comes from the green hull of the black walnut and normally contains water and alcohol in the mix.
Black walnut meats (the nut itself), on the other hand, are used to strengthen ligaments, lower bad cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis and helps prevent bad foot odor along with several other ailments and conditions.
